of such attractions as usually are only en-
loved by those who may fortunately happen
into the large eastern cities or permanently
reside there.

He OFFENDED THE GANG.
That's Why Superintendent Fletcher Must
Be Deposed from His Position.

The gang is against DR.. Fletcher, superiutend-
ent of the In sane Hospital, and. as the decree
has gone forth that ''he must co." it is generally
understood that he will certainly be deposed
from his position by Harrison and Gapen. who
still have control of the. hospital not
withstanding the attempt of the Governor to
exercise his prerogative by appointing their
cessors The superintendent is not only not in
sympathy with the gang. but he has made him
self very obnoxious to it by seriously interfering
with much of its schemng. His doom as the
head of the hospital has been sealed by his re-
fusal TO dismiss clerk Roth, whose discharge
ordered by the trustees at the last meet
ing Roth is of the few really capable
and efficient men employed at the hospital, and
the only reason for ordering his discharge
that he had given evidence the investigation
last winter that was damaging to the board of
trustees. and he had several occasions
lected supplies purchased from the favored con-
tractors knowing that the discharge was
merely to crafty spite, Superintendent Fletcher
refused to give his sanction to the dismissal and
has even declared, it is understood, that be will
retain Roth as long as he is supsrintendent
Another thing that has given ofense particu-
larry to that distinguished individual Mr..
Simeon Coy, thu refusal of the superinten-
dent to employ Duff" Callahan, ward worker,
recommended By Coy and Sullivan. Callahan,
Dr. Fletcher says, wholly incompetent for
service in the hospital and in refus--
ing employ him he emphatically declared
that he would have more such men about the
institution while he is at the head of ii. Coy
and Sullivan have declared that for this he must
be deposed, and. they have great influence
with Harrison and Gapan, their wish will, as is
expected, prevail
Still another thing that has sorely displeased
the gang is the fact that when a subscription pa
per was circulated at the hospital for the pur-
pose of raising money to pay the expenses of the
defense of the election conspirators DR.. Fletcher
with some manifestation of righteous iadgna-
ton, refused to contribute single cent to the
fund. There is good authority for the informa-
ton, however. that DIR. Thomas, who has charge
of the female department. of the hospital, headed
the list of contributors with a subscription OF
twenty I've dollars.

NOT RECOGNIZED AS REPUTABLE.
The State Dental Board Refuses to Issue Lii
censes to Graduates ola Tennessee College.

The State Board of Dental Examiners refused
to issue certificates to practice to Dr.. Wilson, of
Dubois county, and three or four other dentists
who preeen ted diplomas from the Dental College
of the University of Tennessee. That institu-
ton, when pupil had received private instruc-
tion for length of time gave but one course of
lectures. 1t was thought by the Indiana dental
examiners that this did not constitute what the
law would recognize reputable college,
hence their refusal At the beginning Of the
last session the college faculty arranged for two
courses, and when the Indiana board was organ
lied applied for registration an institution
whose diplomas ought to be recognized. But
the one the individual applicants only
had taken stood in the way of their getting a
certificate, although their diplomas were signed
by the Governor and other State officials of Ten
nessee besides having the signatures of repre-
sentative medical and dental practitioners who
belong the faculties OF the university Doc
tors Glenn and Crawford, of Nashville are in
the city to have the difficulty removed They
will insist recognition of their college as one
of reputable standing, and If the dental exam
iners still refuse, will begin legal proceedings to
establish the right and rank of the institution.
